Pretty much all of them, otherwise we would be poorer than our ancestors. Why would anybody use a technology that actually makes them worse off than they were before?
The alternative is to not allow anyone to insult someone like, say, David Koresh, or L. Ron Hubbard, who were religious figures. You are going to have a hard time selling this one.
In the past, Christians would have done the same thing. Happily the Christian faith has had to come to terms with secularism. Great portions of the Muslim world haven't gone through this process yet. I'm betting that they will, eventually; it's now a question of how many more people will die before that happens. Thousands? Millions? Hundreds of millions?
Except for the last John Jay quote, those could just as well apply to Jews, Muslims, or even Hindus. Do you think Christians are the only people that believe in gods?
Not having to deal with backups, antivirus, defrag, and possibly patching, seems like a pretty good idea to this user, and I do all that stuff for a living.
A moderate amount of LSD can cause psychosis, in the same way that breaking up with your girlfriend, or moving away from home to go to college can cause psychosis. Maybe 'cause' isn't exactly the right word here.
That is true only if you stick to new books. Used books are almost always cheaper than that price. And there appears to be no way to sell used e-books.
Plus, you have agricultural subsidies which make corn, wheat and soy products cheaper than anything else. Which is why HFCS is in everything, and food animals are fed on corn and soy. Think about that: Your tax dollars are going towards actively making people less healthy.
You expect the Republicans to gut social security? Really? And piss off their largest supporters? You do realize that the "small government" stuff they say is strictly for the folks back home, and they have no intention of actually following through with any of it, right?
I think you missed the point. Someone in the government has determined that you are an enemy combatant, and has specifically targeted you by name. This has nothing to do with being killed by mistake.
There are people who have a legitimate reason to be there. Aid workers, for one, and people visiting family.
So if we made them legal, all those "problems" you allude to would go away? Or is your problem not that they are illegal, but that they are hispanic? Or... what exactly are you saying?
It is known for its affluence and political conservatism. In fact, in 2005 a major academic study listed three Orange County cities as being among America's 25 "most conservative," making it the only county in the country with more than one such city.
This is obviously nonsense. No private criminals could kill the multiple millions of people that governments have done over and over again in the last century. Of course, that's always somebody else's government, until it isn't.

My company is moving heavily away from apps that run on the desktop, to web apps... written in asp.net :-(

Those unbelievers may influence my loved ones, who will then spend an eternity in hell. What wouldn't you do to prevent that?

I understand that about half of insured folks are insured by non-profits.

The difference is congress passing a law. It sounds like your real issue isn't illegal immigration, it's immigration, period.
So if we made them legal, all those "problems" you allude to would go away? Or is your problem not that they are illegal, but that they are hispanic? Or... what exactly are you saying?
I'm guessing that the huge majority of those illegal immigrants want legal immigration, too. Why don't we give it to them, then?
If my mail (as a parcel) is delivered by UPS or Fedex, does it not have the same protection?
Is that wager still open? I have some money here... somewhere...

And obviously, concert tickets are a natural resource :-)

So do you propose that all religions be taught in school, or just your favorite one? I'm having a hard time seeing how this works.
In theory, since the bill of rights were amendments, they supersede anything in the original document. At least that is how it is supposed to work.
Plus coke and hookers.
